One of the elders was very displeased by Ye Tian's words. For a mere kid to dare question his judgment... He was tempted to lash out at Ye Tian on the spot, but after seeing the boy's faint smile, he felt something wasn't quite right.
"You're saying there's more to this? Then hand over that Lotus Seed and let me see. If you're lying and wasting our time, the consequences will be severe. You'd better think this through," the elder said.
"Why don't you take a closer look first," Ye Tian said, looking at the two elders with a serious expression. "If you still believe I deserve to be punished after that, I'll have nothing more to say. But if you find it surprising, I'd like to request a private room."
The others were also taken aback by Ye Tian's words. A young man actually demanding a room? It was utterly absurd. They all shot him looks of contempt.
